Idk if he was the best but he was defineitly one of the better ones. Better than harden defensively, that's for sure.

I'm not saying I'd take Beverly over Paul for a year, but if you told me I could have CP3 for just one year, or Beverly for possibly most of his career, I wouldn't have made that trade.

Time will tell. Once CP3 makes his decision to stay or not will tell us if that was a bad deal or not. Only two ways that makes sense. One is y'all make it out of the West this year and the other would be CP3 signs a multiple year extension.

You keep acting like he doesn't want to be in Houston because he was traded, but it was his decision to come here.

The only way he doesn't stay here past 2018 is if he doesn't perform well next season and the Rockets don't re-sign him.

You keep acting like there would be no reason he would want to leave either. Like that's the perfect place for him to be....keep thinking that way...

The Rockets have always had better success in the playoffs than the Clippers, even in recent years. The days of Yao and T-Mac always losing in the first round are a thing of the past. They're now a team on the rise, a true contender.

The likelihood of CP3 remaining in Houston next year is just as high (probably higher) than that of Paul George joining the Lakers.

And who was running the point? CP. Yet yall are better because you got CP3, right? Did you know LAC was ranked 5 spots better than yall defensively? That's not all because of CP3. They actually had rim protectors. And you think you're all of a sudden getting out of round 2? Y'all are no better than the Clippers have been the past 5 years. And you see come playoff time.

Who says he doesn't decide to go to S.A. next year? And it doesn't matter if it's the Lakers, CP would have a better shot at a title (which is what he wants) wherever James is over being with Harden. And I'm sure he would jump at the chance to play with LeBron over Harden. Especially after he see how this mess plays out....

Where, like LA? Sure CP3 will go back to LA to join LeBron and Paul George with the Lakers. Dream on.....

He gave up millions to join the Rockets, just like Durant did with the Warriors. He gave up $3M on his trade kicker.

If Carmelo wants to join him here, he will probably have to give up his 15% trade kicker entirely to come to Houston.

Lol. Its for one year. He didnt lose anything he wont be able to make up next year as a FA and he did that more so to get away from LA, not because he was so infatuated with HOU. HOU just happened to be the only team with a "shot" that would actually trade for him. S.A. wasn't going to trade for him when they know they'll have a shot next year at him. Just like LA with George. That's not smart business. Yet you are enamored with Morey for making the move. Bad business, period.

The only way that's going to happen is if they trade Ryan Anderson and a few other small pieces for Melo.

It's going to be a 4-team trade and they'll be trading Anderson's 3-year/$60M contract for Carmelo's 2-year deal.

Pretty much everyone was overpaid in 2016, including a whole bunch of Lakers, but Anderson more than most.

Morey knows how to fix his own mistakes (Howard is history). Trading Anderson for Melo makes sense.

The combination of Harden, CP3, and Melo is far better than anything the Lakers can possibly come up with.

This year, yea. No one should argue that. But Melo doesn't put y'all over the top. So honestly what's the point?

With Harden and CP3, all Melo would be is a spot up shooter. He doesn't rebound and his D is terrible.

Trading for Melo period doesn't make sense. The only way I see it working is if he agrees to come off the bench with Gordon.

I think it's bad because y'all are acting like this is it. Like y'all need to hurry and try for a title NOW. That's dumb. Morey is trading good assets for guys who might not be on the team a year or two from now.

Harden is still young and y'all should be building for two years from now and hope that the Warriors fall apart rather than going all in for it now. Cuz if you do and it doesn't work, and those guys aren't with you in 2020, then y'all still won't have a shot even if the Warriors break up.

Melo is a UFA in 2019. I'm not sure if he has an opt out for next year. But hypothetically let's say CP3 and Melo are both gone by 2019. Y'all Rockets fans are going to trash Morey.

In two years y'all could be in the same boat OKC was last year. Y'all could end up with a bleak future pretty soon all because sorry feels pressure to try and star pack his team to beat a team that currently looks unbeatable.
